Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Cradley Heath

Live-in care in Cradley Heath is for experienced carers who want to live alongside a client and support their day-to-day life around the clock, with agreed breaks and clear boundaries. Many carers travel into Cradley Heath from across the UK for placements, bringing continuity and companionship to people in their own homes. Right now, 114 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose who you work with, where you’ll travel and the hours you accept. Live-in roles in the West Midlands often involve personal care, medication support, meal preparation, companionship and helping to keep routines running smoothly. Carers travel from outside the area for some live-in placements, and others come from local towns such as Netherton, Lye, Brierley Hill, Rowley Regis, Halesowen and Dudley.

Pay is flexible because you set your own rates — many carers list within £145–£160 per day and can also use our tools to manage daily or hourly arrangements. Live-in work means being part of someone’s home life, so it suits people who are confident providing personal care, patient under changing routines, and ready to share domestic space respectfully.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means less time on admin and more time doing the care you trained to give. You remain self-employed: you choose your clients, your service area and the hours you accept.

Who we’re looking for

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t require a specific qualification to sign up, but experience and good references are essential for live-in work.

Practicals

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you’ll see client introductions and choose which matches suit you. PrimeCarers handles bookings, client contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. You’ll also be covered by the platform’s insurance while engaged on a placement.

If you’re an experienced carer in Cradley Heath or nearby and want control over who you work with and how much you earn, creating a profile is the next step. Many carers switch from agency models to find more stable, respectful live-in roles across Cradley Heath and the wider West Midlands.
